Welcome to EGamersWorld.
DreamLeague Season 21 continues with the group stage matches of the tournament. We continue to watch what's happening in Group B.
We have the third and final match of the first round of games coming up. We will be watching the match between Quest and BB Team.
Eastern Europe will once again play against Western Europe. In the season 2023 such battles have become kind of symbolic and recently the "little brother" in the face of Eastern Europe is catching up with the "big brother".
Let's try to see if this match will be anything like that. Will any of the teams be able to earn important points for themselves in the opening match or will everything end in a draw.
Let's go.
BB Team uniforms.
We start the analysis of the match by analysing the BB Team's form. In this match they will have to play the first number one.
Bookmakers believe in the success of the Eastern European residents. The odds for their victory are at around 3.3.
To tell the truth, the figure is quite dubious. At least because BB looked good during the season and got very big results, while Quest flashed only periodically.
In the first season of the regional league BB Team took the top 1, very confidently running over their main opponents in the face of Spirit and HR. However, this success was quickly overshadowed by their performance at Lima Major 2023, where BB failed to make it out of the group.
A few inconclusive events later, BB Team began play in the second division of the DPC. This time the situation changed dramatically, from top 1 to top 3, but on the international stage everything was stable: another failure to get out of the group at the Major e.
The third season of DPC was held under the slogan "it's time to get back", but somehow it didn't work out, something didn't go well and in the end - TOP-2. Again, kind of significant, but if we compare Western and Eastern Europe, TOP-2 in the first case is much more prestigious than BB's achievement.

BB Team's moment of glory was DreamLeague Season 20. Having got to the tournament quite by chance (they replaced Execration), the Eastern European residents managed to make it to the grand final of the tournament, where they beat Gladiators, but eventually lost with the score 2-3.
After a solid group stage at The Bali Major 2023 with a 4-2-2 from BB, Eastern European Resident made it to the top set of play-offs. There the team outplayed Tundra Esports, but due to a tournament rules violation that result was cancelled. As a result, Bali Major 2023 ended for BB Team in the top 12.
After the last Major tournament of the season BB Team attended a number of other events. Among them is the Riyadh Masters 2023. At the biggest commercial tournament of the season, BB Team made it to the top 6, which is pretty good.
In addition to the Riyadh Masters 2023 BB Team also made an appearance at the BB Dacha. The tournament from the main sponsor BB Club finished without starting: BB Team failed to get out of the group and as a result finished in the top 8.
The most popular BB Team characters
The most used BB Team character is Storm Spirit (5 matches, 60% wins). The team also plays with Primal Beast and Pugna at position 4, and both heroes have 4 matches and 100% wins each. In spades was Enchantress (4 matches, 25% wins), Beastmaster (4 games, 0% wins).
Quest Esports uniforms
We continue our match breakdown with an analysis of Quest Esports' match form. In this match they are honoured to play as the number two.
Bookmakers are not ready to bet on Quest's advantage. The odds for their victory are at around 4.1.
The figure, to put it bluntly, is not terrible. Against odds in the neighbourhood of 3, the 4.1 figure looks like a lift. However, Quest Esports are likely to have difficulties, because according to rumours, TA2000 will not be able to make it to the group stage of DreamLeague Season 21. TA2000 is busy processing his American visa to participate in The International 2023. His place will be temporarily taken by Shad.
Quest Esports became one of the main discoveries of the season. It was hard to imagine them in the top 4 of Major a, but they are here.
They started their ascent to the top of Major a with Top 5 at DPC 2023: WEU. Then the team was one map short of reaching the Berlin Major 2023, but not enough.
In the third round of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 the team again showed a top game and that time they had enough. It was enough for the top 3 of the tournament, and as a result, they made it to The Bali Major 2023.

During the Bali Major 2023 Quest Esports showed from the very beginning of the tournament that they did not come there to rest. The team finished top-1 in their group and then went to play in the top set of play-offs. In the end, Quest's jaunt through The Bali Major 2023 ended with them in 4th place.
Having travelled to the Riyadh Masters 2023 with a replacement in the lineup, Quest Esports did not lose their team scilll. In their Play-In group the team took a confident first place, losing only 1 match out of 5.
The group stage of the Saudi tournament also proved to be no match for Quest. Residents of Western Europe confidently took the top 1 in Group A, thereby guaranteeing themselves passage to the top grid play-offs. But the main stage did not start the way the European club would have liked. In a tense game against Talon TA2000 and Ledge were defeated 1-2.
In the first round of the lower grid, Quest played against PSG.LGD. They did not feel the Chinese - they won 2-0.
And then Quest Esports met with Gaimin Gladiators. The three-time Major champions defeated Quest on class with the score 2-0.
After Riyadh Masters 2023 Quest Esports played at the qualifiers for The International 2023. They managed to finish in the top 2, which allowed them to qualify for the main tournament of the year.
The most popular Quest Esports characters
Among the most popular Quest characters are Shadow Demon (14 matches, 71% wins), Snapfire (14 matches, 64% wins), Techies (12 matches, 83% wins).
Also playing with Undying (9 games, 77% wins), Templar Assassin (8 matches, 50% wins).
There is also Silencer (7 games, 100% wins), Medusa (7 games, 100% wins), Doom (7 matches, 85% wins), Enchantress (7 matches, 71% wins).
History of head-to-head meetings between BB Team and Quest
Previously the teams played each other in Bali Major 2023. Then in the group BB Team lost with the score 0-2.
Predicted result of the match BB Team - Quest at DreamLeague Season 21
Given the history of head-to-head meetings, Quest Esports should give the fight to BB Team. However, the European club will be forced to play with a substitute, and therefore more faith in Quest Esports.
In general, I think BB Team will win, but it will not be easy even with the substitutes.
Bottom line: victory BB Team.
